Thee Holy Brothers is a supergroup of sorts, formed of Willie Aron and Marvin Etzioni, whose full CVs would take up this entire review. Etzioni writes the songs for their second project, whose title comes from his elation at the all-clear after a bout with cancer, a disease, wretchedly, Aron lost his wife to.
The presence of a pedal steel on ‘I Am Time’ adds suitable melancholy to a lyric that includes the line “everybody wants more of me”, which is even more stark given what Etzioni went through. ‘I Can See Through My Window Now’, complete with a small horn section, is a jubilant pastiche of about three eras of the Beatles’ catalogue. The duo invites you to play Spot The Influence, given that Etzioni’s cancer is a bitter pill that needs some sugar to accompany its digestion.
